People keep asking me what I'm most excited about with the pregnancy. And in my head I yell REDECORATING! But I don't say that. Most people expect you to say things like: being a Mom, bringing home baby, watching them grow.
But I'm not there yet.
Right now I'm excited to move things, paint things, clean things. I'm excited to baby proof. You might be wondering why- I have 5 months to make this place comfy, pretty and SAFE for a baby. I want all of it done before the Peanut comes home so there's no worry. I know that as far as safety goes some of it will come as the baby ages; as in "...I had no idea you could reach that!" There are things that I can do in the mean time though.
I'm sure that by the time June and July roll around I'll get the Mom jitters and I'll be excited to bring the baby home. But honestly? If I started getting excited about all of that now I don't think I'd have any energy left in August.
So for now:
We clean!
We paint!
We organize!
...and snack

...as much as I hate tickers
We have two now. There had been one at the very BOTTOM of the page, but I doubt anyone really looked there after the posts got long. If you haven't so much been playing along at home the one will be a bit of a shock, and I apologize. Surprise! I figured keeping them at the bottom would be too much scrolling. And you might not see them. So now BOTH tickers are up top. Exciting no?
I heart the Office, let's just get that out of the way. Matt doesn't really. He enjoys the banter between Jim and Dwight- but I think that's about it. I would say that what's about to follow is hormone induced, but I know deep down inside it's not. It's the truth.
There have been episodes of the Office that have struck a chord in me in the past. But his past season Ms Beasley has made me feel better about all most ALL of the crazy I've felt. I still have the Wedding Episode saved on our DVR, dontjudgeme. But watching her freak out about labor last night made me breathe a very large sigh of relief.
I've been so afraid that something will go wrong, I'll want give up or I won't be able to physically DO it. My father and Matt are proving to be a wonderful cheering section. They keep telling me that I'll be able to do it- I will find a way. My dad was pretty funny about it, he said he wasn't sure how women did it- but they find a way through. I really don't know what I did to get a dad like this, but I'm pretty thankful. Matt has remained calm even through my freak outs, thankgod. I don't think it would end well if we both spent all our time worrying.
